Wonderful photos, look. It's really amazing the way they can load and carry so much on their bikes. They work so hard for the amount of money they get paid for their labour.

Very interesting "P" photos and post.

    It is amazing what people carry on their bicycles in countries where that is the main mode of transportation. I've watched documentaries. I am sure that Hawaii has fruit trucks. Pineapple is one of my favorite fruits and it won't grow in West Virginia.
Star,
These farmers are not large plantation owners. Some of them are simply sharecroppers. They use bikes to reduce the carrying costs of their products to nearby markets. Most of these markets are located near the highways from where Fruit Trucks are used for transporting bulk products to various cities. I like to eat pineapples too. Stay well and cheerful, dear Star.

Maudie,
As mentioned elsewhere by me, these farmers are not only hard-working but innovative too. Thank you so much for the views expressed above by you. Take care, dear friend. Have pleasant days ahead.

Thank you so much for stopping by and for your post, Robyn. These pineapples not only look beautiful but are tasty too. I can send you some nice fresh juicy pineapples by air, but I am afraid they will not be fresh when delivered to you by the Airline! Take care of yourself always.

Great pics LookLook. You always post the best pics. It was interesting to read some facts about the pineapple growers of Dhakka. It is a shame the farmers get so little money. Much like the Dairy industry in Australia. I always enjoy reading your blogs. We grow pineapples in Oz, but yours look better than ours. It is amazing how much produce those men can fit onto a bicycle.

Thanks for your post, dear Ratboy. Everywhere in the world, farmers, especially those who are small farm owners, do not get proper prices for their produces
They need to market their products soon for obvious reasons. They can fit a maximum of 100 pineapples in one Bicycle.
Take Care, My friend. Be safe.
